We wanted to train and upskill our teams of adult leaders and youth workers in working creatively with young people who are LGB and TQIA+. In our discussions before the project, some of our partners said that they did not have the language, methods, or knowledge to work creatively with this community, while others were the opposite: they were pioneering creative workshops and theatre for, with and buy LGBTQIA youth. We therefore brought together those who wanted training with those who had training to offer. The course gathered 50 cultural youth workers and 7 trainers from Azerbaijan, Spain, Greece, Turkey, Kosovo, Austria and Ireland for 7 days in Ireland. It aimed to: (1) train cultural youth workers in using creative methodologies that they could use with groups of young LGBTQIA+ people to support them. (2) bring together Cultural Youth Workers, from mainly youth theatre organisations, who could exchange practice, ideas, cultural differences, and approaches to performance work with young LGBTQI+ people. (3) train cultural youth workers on LGBTQIA+ terminology, identities, issues and how to use sensitive language around gender while working with young LGBTQIA+ people. (4) train cultural youth workers on how to create safe and inclusive spaces where LGBTQIA+ youth can explore their creative talents without fear of judgment, discrimination, or harassment. (5) train youth workers on how to empower LGBTQIA+ youth to express their identities, feelings, and experiences through creative methods such as theatre, dance, and film, fostering self-confidence and self-expression. (6) explore how to use creative activities as a means to build a sense of community and belonging among LGBTQIA+ youth, helping them connect with peers who share similar experiences. The objectives were (a) to have 4 workshops from experts in the language, concepts and issues appropriate and relevant to LGBTQI+ youth; (b) involve all participants in 4 other programmes where they created theatre and film about LGBTQI; (c) to provide a space for each group to creatively showcase their organisation, and the situation experienced by LGBTQI+ youth; (d) provide an introduction to how the Erasmus+ programme could be used to support young LGBTQI+ youth. While participants were shown ways to use creative methods to support LGBTQIA+ issues with young people they were also engaged in reflective activities – analysing and processing their experiences and learning on a daily basis.
